Location: Universität Hohenheim, Hohenheimer Gärten, Erna-Hruschka-Weg 2, 70599 Stuttgart | Meeting Point: Hohenheimer Sammlungsgewächshaus
At the University of Hohenheim, certification courses for obtaining the BANU* Certificate Silver are offered by the Hohenheim Gardens and the Center for Biodiversity and Integrative Taxonomy (KomBioTa) in cooperation with the Academy for Nature and Environmental Protection of Baden-Württemberg.
The event, titled "Knowledge – Qualification – Certification for Biodiversity," allows advanced botany enthusiasts to have their expertise certified.
Participants need solid species knowledge, an understanding of ecological relationships, and the ability to identify habitats to obtain the BANU* certificate. These skills are essential in many fields where nature and the environment are subjects of research, evaluation, planning, and conservation.
There are numerous national, regional, and local projects where species experts are indispensable for the conception, implementation, and evaluation. Likewise, expert knowledge is required to comply with environmental standards and implement legal regulations.
The exam is conducted in written form and, if possible, with fresh plant material.
Key aspect of the BANU* Bronze certification is the knowledge of 200 vascular plant species. Image and herbarium material may be used if fresh material cannot be provided due to species protection or insufficient phenology.
To prepare for the certification exam, a revision course is offered, to which we cordially invite you.
Please bring the following materials:
